affectionately
In a caring way
Affectionately describes doing something with warmth and fondness.
It typically modifies verbs of address or physical gesture: She affectionately called him Bear, He affectionately squeezed her hand.
Letters sometimes close with affectionately yours, a step warmer than "sincerely" but short of "love."
